Rain chances are rising<\/strong> across Arkansas<\/strong> this Sunday<\/strong>, especially in the late afternoon<\/strong> and evening hours<\/strong>, after a mostly dry and hot Saturday<\/strong>. While most areas will stay clear this evening<\/strong>, a few isolated thunderstorms<\/strong> may develop around sunset<\/strong>, particularly in southern and central Arkansas<\/strong>. Still, don\u2019t count on rain<\/strong> unless you\u2019re lucky enough to be directly under one of these pop-up cells<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On Sunday<\/strong>, scattered downpours<\/strong> and thunderstorms<\/strong> become more likely as temperatures peak<\/strong> in the mid-90s\u00b0F<\/strong> (around 35\u00b0C<\/strong>). The humid air mass<\/strong> will push heat index values<\/strong> toward the triple digits<\/strong>, making it feel even more oppressive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Storm chances stay elevated<\/strong> into the start of the workweek<\/strong>, with Monday through Wednesday<\/strong> holding steady at around a 40% likelihood<\/strong> of thunderstorm development<\/strong>. These storms will be hit-or-miss<\/strong>, meaning some neighborhoods might see a quick cooldown<\/strong>, while others remain hot and dry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By Thursday<\/strong> and Friday<\/strong>, the storm pattern weakens<\/strong>, and temperatures rebound<\/strong>, with the heat index<\/strong> once again pushing close to 100\u00b0F<\/strong> (38\u00b0C<\/strong>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rain chances are rising across Arkansas this Sunday, especially in the late afternoon and evening hours, after a mostly dry and hot Saturday.
